Much better news, although I can't believe they're still doing non-anamorphic.

Yeah, but even so, widescreen ratio better than nothing.
Anamorphic doesn't make a big difference to me (I don't have a WS TV), but it would be nice.
Still I can't complain. I was sooooo disappointed after waiting months to see what was on the box when I heard it was "fullscreen", so I was very excited to see that the films were actually in WS.
Now if only Disney could start releasing disc specs AHEAD of release dates...

Hee hee hee....
It should arrive Monday (shipped off today), so I'll let you all know.
However, I did look at the actual box (rather than just the online info) and it seemed to all be widescreen.
Full report next week

I was actualy holding off from pre-ordering untill i found out the aspect ratio's of the seaquels
i already bought love bug r1
so i will have two love bug copies
but since they will only come out in the boxset so be it gonna pre order now
so if your review turns out bad loomis i can always cancel again

greetings Brink!

I'm wondering if anyone knows if the US will get the three Herbie sequels. If so, I'm going to have to pick up the Love Bug, it's only $15 at Wal-Mart. I was so tempted to get it, but I wanted an insert. I guess I'll have to lower my pride.

Hopefully we'll get Herbie Rides Again at least in widescreen, even non-anamorphic is better than nothing!

Interesting to note that the BBC are showing Herbie Goes Bananas now - in 1.33:1 full screen.

No as any resident of the UK knows, the BBC often make great effort to show films in a 1.75:1 ratio (ragardless of the original ratio - they often show 2.35:1 films in P&S 1.75:1 for example). They have on earlier rare occasions been known to show films where the original aspect ratio is the academy 1.33:1 as matted 1.75:1, but soon stopped this practice. So the BBC is just as bad as American television for cropping films when shown on television, just for different reasons

I can only assume that 1.33:1 is a valid aspect ratio for this film. Not to say it was the theatrical ratio, but Disney themselves regard 1.33:1 as a possible valid ratio for the film. That said, it doesn't look like it's being presented open matte, so some of the side information must be cropped (I assume)

Update

Actually on seeing more of the film, I think it may be open matte after all - there does seem to be excessive of headroom on a number of shots (although a few still look like vital information would be missing if matted)
